2025 “Atlantea” from Christy Lee Rogers’ Myths and Legends Collection

Internationally acclaimed visual artist Christy Lee Rogers returns to the UK with a new solo exhibition that reimagines classical mythology through her signature underwater lens.

Titled Myths and Legends, the exhibition will transform the iconic façade of W1 Curates on Oxford Street, as Rogers’ luminous underwater figures are projected across 300 state-of-the-art LED screens—turning one of London’s busiest streets into a vast theatre of light, colour, and movement.

Inside, visitors are invited into a world of myth and metamorphosis—a series of monumental underwater photographs that reframe the timeless stories of heroes, lovers, and seekers with a contemporary twist. Using the fluid medium of water and her mastery of light and colour, Rogers reimagines these ancient archetypes as deeply human figures—suspended between chaos and calm, love and loss, shadow and illumination.

By merging past and present, Rogers uncovers the shared emotions and experiences that bind us across centuries: the search for meaning, the courage to love, and the unending desire to rise beyond limitation. These age-old tales—once told to explain the world—resurface here as reflections of our own lives beneath the surface of the modern world.

Presented in partnership with Studio 74 Contemporary ArtMyths and Legends is more than an exhibition—it is an experience. A modern retelling of humanity’s most enduring stories, seen through the prism of water and light, reminding us that even now, the mythic still flows within us.

CHRISTY LEE ROGERS' "VENUS RISING" IS DONATED TO INSTITUTO GABRIEL WICKBOLD, SAO PAULO, BRAZIL

Christy Lee Rogers’ Venus Rising reimagines the birth of Venus through her signature Baroque-inspired lens. Layers of flowing silk and vivid color drift in suspended motion, as a central figure in white ascends toward the surface, her form haloed in light.

This work has been generously donated to the Instituto Gabriel Wickbold in São Paulo, Brazil with all proceeds dedicated to supporting local artists in their creative process—nurturing the next wave of visionaries in Brazil’s vibrant art community.

BODYSCAPES 17 July — 13 September 2025

https://load-gallery.com/exhibitions/group-show-bodyscapes

What does it mean to inhabit a place—or a body? Bodyscapes begins with this question, tracing how artists approach the body not as an object, but as an environment: a mutable site shaped by memory, material experience, and emotional charge; a lived terrain.

Through the eyes of ten female artists—one working as part of a duo—the body undergoes transformations, deformations, and mutations: challenging beauty standards, mirroring the endless loop of social media validation, defying gravity in search of freedom without ever leaving itself. Some bodies remain whole, quiet, grounded, insisting on their right simply to exist. In these works, the body is a sanctuary, a space for healing and connection with the inner self and nature. Finally, the digital bodies in the exhibition reflect the same embodied approach: they speak not of escape or disembodiment, but of inhabiting the virtual realm through the body—living with it, rather than attempting to leave it behind.
